Today I shared an article with my Dad, one that is no longer accessible online, by sharing it from my #Readeck archive.

Bookmarking & archiving everything is paying off, and Readeck did an amazing job.

@algernon ohh that's an interesting project! do you also use it on mobile? I currently use ArchiveBox for safekeeping, but copy-pasting is pain in the ass 😞

@pcdevil the browser extension works in mobile firefox too, and I'm using that.

There is no "save into readeck" for other apps, though, so sometimes I have to copy links around.

@algernon Does Readeck support full domain mirroring? I can't seem to find a definite answer...

@buherator no, it does not. It is a bookmark (& bookmark archiver) tool, not a full-on archiving one.

Imho, both kinds have their place, they solve different problems.

@algernon Are you aware of any recursive mirroring tools? My searches so far only turned up wget (which is severely limited) and ArchiveBox (that doesn't support full mirrors either) :(

@buherator nope, sorry :(

That is not a use-case I have. I'll boost the question, perhaps some along in my circles can suggest something.

Go go #fedisearch!

@algernon Thanks, really appreciated!

@buherator @algernon Does https://www.httrack.com/ do what you need?

@buherator @algernon browsertrix crawler or zimit (uses browsertrix, but saves to the Zim format)

Unfortunately they use brave as the chromium backend :/

@Ember @algernon Thanks I'll give these a shot!

@psa @algernon I'm not fully confident that an 8 years old codebase can handle todays mess on the web...

@algernon @pcdevil There is another route (on Android at least)...

The app is called "HTTP Shortcuts"

This should give a little flavor for what it can do

@TheDragon @pcdevil ooooooooooohhhhh.

That looks very interesting. I'll give it a try!

@buherator @algernon
I had some notes about web archival in my memex, I published them quickly:
https://brain.trainpats.eu/web%20archival.html

Don't rely on this URL, it might change soon.

I mostly recommend this page that I link to from there:
https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-Community#other-archivebox-alternatives

@algernon @pcdevil

I'm currently making extremely limited use of it, so much so in fact - I'd be curious to see what other clever uses people do/could come up with for it...

Perhaps one for someone more well followed than I, to ask 😜

@TheDragon @pcdevil I'll see if it can help me do two things:

• share to readeck from any app that suppirts androids "share with..." thing
• share files to an api, so my dad can easily send me stuff from his phone

It looks like it can do both. Will look cliser later. This might solve a problem I've been banging my head against for quite a while!

Thank you!

@buherator @algernon Depends what kind of brokenness you need to solve for. It may be that writing a simple crawler with Playwright is your best bet if you want 100% support for every oddity.
